FC Barcelona Until At Least 2022 - Here Is Sergi Roberto's Full Boot History
FC Barcelona's Sergi Roberto renewed his contract until June 2022 with a mammoth €500m buyout clause last week. What a better time to look at Sergi Roberto's career in football boots.
Sergi Roberto - A Product of Barcelona's Youth System Who Never Laced Up in Different Boots Than Nike
Sergi Roberto, who joined the Catalan giants at the age of 14, only laced up in Nike football shoes during his career. However, while it is well known that he now wears the Nike Magista Obra, the Spaniard laced up in all different silos by the Swoosh except the Mercurial from his first team debut in 2010 until 2014 - the Nike CTR (his most frequent choice), the Nike Total 90 and the Nike Tiempo.
Sergi Roberto Makes Nike Magista Switch
In Summer 2014, Nike discontinued Sergi Roberto's favorite boot silo, the Nike CTR, in favor of the Nike Magista. Unlike many other players, the midfielder had no problems with Nike's all-new knitted high-cut soccer shoes and has been lacing up in not other boot than Nike's control cleat since 2014.
However, as Nike will discontinue the Nike Magista football boot after the 2018 World Cup, Sergi Roberto will be forced to change boot silos after four years. We think it is most likely that Sergi Roberto will make the change to the all-new Nike FTR10 cleat, even though we can also imagine that he will lace up in the Nike Tiempo from the 2018-2019 season.
Do you think that Sergi Roberto will wear Nike boots and play for Barcelona until the end of his career? Let us know in the comments below.
